I am a big fan of the Japanese zoning system. I'm sure it has its flaws and that there are arguably better systems, but it seems much better than what we currently have in the US.
That article mostly just hammers home how terrible most American zoning is. It's like city planners all grew up playing Sim Cities (residential here, offices there, residential here, shops there).
